(General Feedback)

Do you have an idea or suggestion based on your experience with Azure? We would love to hear it! Please take a few minutes to submit your idea in the one of the forums available on the right or vote up an idea submitted by another Azure customer. All of the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

This forum (General Feedback) is used for any broad feedback related to Azure. If you have feedback on a specific service such as Azure Virtual Machines, Web Apps, or SQL Database, please submit your feedback in one of the forums available on the right.

I have B-Series virtual machines that most of the time have plenty of CPU credits in reserve, but about twice a month I need 12-24 hours of use at nearly 100% CPU. It would be nice to have the option purchasing additional CPU credits as opposed to reprovisioning at some higher level of service for that short period of time.

The way that Scrolling is currently implemented, it forces both a vertical and horizontal scrolling.
We would like to use paging for getting more rows, and horizontal scrolling to enable the user to add many columns, and still see them clearly.

We have over 65 subscriptions and New-AzureRmSubscription fails with "There must be an existing subscription with the offer up to a max number of subscriptions. Further details: Account must have between 1 and 49 existing subscriptions. 65 subscriptions were found. Please increase this limit".

I have a master branch i have a branch policy for, i then have medium lived branches such as Feature1, Feature2 etc. All of which have the same branch polices. However everytime i create a new "feature" branch, i have to re-write the branch policy for that branch.

It would be great if i was able to define a template and then just add the template to a branch, or some kind of inheritance for branch polices.

We would like to have RBAC on Log analytics. when we click on view solutions, Log analytics dashboards with all solutions open up. Data populated for all solutions is entire data and doesnt have filter based on the RBAC permissions. For example, if user has access to resource group , he/she should be able to see only data present for his resource group

It would be nice to be able to zip multiple folders or a container on another container.
The purpose being that if you have a lot of small files, it would be super slow to download them on another server over the network one by one.

New generation of alerts don't support as many rules as classic alerts.
I need to make a alert with a rule which is "Create or Update Virtual Network Subnet" but there is no such rule.
On the other hand, classic alerts has this rule option.

Creating a slot resource outside of a Microsoft.Web/sites' resources property (creating the slot in a separate deployment or template) is allowed when the "kind" of Microsoft.Web/site that the slot belongs to is "webapp." When creating a slot in a separate deployment for a Microsoft.Web/site of the kind "functionapp" it throws an InternalError with no helpful debugging information.

We would like to migrate from other DNS provider to Azure DNS. There will be almost 600 zones. It its absolutely unmanageable to take Azure DNS name servers zone by zone and update each domain register. Please, considerate the possibility to have the same name servers pool for all zones for the same subscription or even better, give the possibility to stablish different name server pools and assign to zones.
Thanks in advanced.

Provide access to RSACryptoServiceProvider or System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt so that its possible to construct and sign a JWT from a policy expression within Azure API Management.

Right now there's no libraries to help with signing JWTs within a policy in APIM. In scenarios where APIM needs to invoke backend APIs which dictate a security protocol which requires signed JWTs (ex. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7523 on Salesforce) you need a backend API between APIM and your platform just to do the token exchange.

Although many of the Microsoft-assigned status for suggestions are pretty clear, some of them ("unplanned") are not. A tooltip or similar describing Microsoft's definition of each status would be handy.

When LogMeIn Hamachi is installed on a Windows Azure Virtual Machine, occasionally the Windows Azure Agent tries to connect through the Hamachi virtual network adapter instead of the VM's Hyper-V network adapter. This results in the agent reporting "Not Available" and backups fail. I have found that about once a month I need to uninstall Hamachi, reboot the server, check that the agent can connect again, and then re-install Hamachi. It would be great to update the Azure Agent to handle this better. Errors in the agent log include "Failed to obtain fabric URI. ControlSystem not initialized" and "Did not discover fabric address on interface Hamachi." I'm using static IP addresses and the VM is not joined to a domain.

It appears that Load Balancer uses the same algorithm to calculate hashes for 2-, 3- and 5-tuple hashes. This way for 2- and 3-tuple hashes there is simply less input variables and source IP addresses from the same subnet receive the same hash value. With the same hash these clients get connected to the same node in the Load Balancer making very unbalanced load (in my case typical load distribution across 2-node LB is 90/10).

I suggest to change hash algorithm for 2- and 3-tuple hashes so it produces different hash values.
